Each year, the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) sends more than 4,000 youngsters with neuromuscular diseases to over 90 fun-filled one-week sessions at nearly 80 locations nationwide. Campers between the ages of 6 and 17 enjoy activities specially designed for young people with disabilities. Campers participate in activities such as swimming, horseback riding, talent shows, and arts and crafts programs. MDA summer camp offers something for everyone!
The MDA Camp programs across the United States are possible because of the thousands of volunteers who devote themselves to the campers during camp week. Here in Oregon, local firefighters have made it an annual tradition to show their support by volunteering during Firefighters Day at the Annual MDA Camp.
More than a dozen firefighters from Portland Fire & Rescue (PF&R) traveled to Camp Arrah Wanna in Welches, Oregon, bringing with them a 1979 out-of-service seagrave ladder truck and BBQ trailer. PF&R firefighters barbequed hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken donated by the Portland Firefighters Association IAFF Local 43 and took part in hand-on activities with the campers alongside other local firefighters from Newburg Fire Department, Hoodland Fire District, Salem Fire Department, and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue.
Firefighters look forward to the annual camp and report back that they as much out of it or more than the kids do. Learn more about MDA and how you can volunteer for MDA events in your local area by clicking here!

I'm a living proof that you can be cured from Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Lymphomas are blood cancers" in the lymph nodes. They develop more frequently in older adults and in compromised individuals. After years of living with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. I was cured naturally with the use of Dr Gomez Sims RSO Cannabis Oil, 3 drops on the tongue daily for a period of 3 weeks, I was recovering. In 2019 I begin seeing Dr Gomez Sims, who specializes in internal and pulmonary medicine. It’s also crucial to learn as much as you can about your diagnosis. Seek options. Find out about what’s out there that could help. WhatsApp +27731060717 Email: drsimagomez@protonmail.com

I got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. I have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr. Kham, But I never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try Dr. Kham herbal remedies, Then I contacted him through his email. When I contacted him, He assured me 100% that he will heal me, I pleaded with him to help me out. My treatment was a great success, He healed me just as he promised. He sent me his medication and asked me to go for a check up after Two weeks of taking the medication. I agreed with him. I took this medication and went for a check up . To my greatest surprise my result was negative after the treatment, I am really happy that I am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure I was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. So i guess it's time i recommend anyone going through Herpes HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV, HPV, Hepatitis B, Diabetes, Cancer to reach Dr Kham herbal remedies through Gmail dr.khamcaregiver@gmail.com or add on WhatsApp +2348159922297 You can also visit his website: https://herbalistdrkhamcaregiver.simdif.com for more information
